 What is the role of Lettering?

Lettering provides details about

the object drawn, the title of the
drawing, the scale, and some other
relevant information to supplement the
drawing in the form of notes, and
annotations.
 Thus, the
lettering must be done
with
1. neatness,
2. accuracy,
3. speed,
4. legibility, and
5. orderliness.
